I just got a 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn, hemi, with Katzkin leather seats. The heated seats really do not work well at all. They take about 10-15 minutes to barely even feel. I contacted one dealership about it and the service guy said that's just how they are, and that if they get hot at some point they are working, and that they have no software changes on them yet and can do nothing about it. Being that it is my opinion (and I think I'm right) that the whole point of heated seats is the heat the seats before the truck warms up, I just cannot see how these seats are functioning properly since they don't heat up for 10+ minutes of driving. They also barely work at all if I do auto start--when I do auto start the heated seats and steering wheel turn on, but when I get in the car even with it running on auto start for 10+ minutes my seat is barely hot at all (it is warm, but so luke warm I can't even tell if it's from the heat coming from the vents or the seat heating element), but the heated steering wheel works fine, that heats up right away.
Very disappointed. My 10 year old 2008 Ram 1500 heated seats work just fine, after 10 years.
Any input on this is greatly appreciated.
